  • Excellent content, great format

    Update: I’ve noticed in episodes two and three that Jason’s voice comes through much(!) louder than Jacob’s, requiring repeated volume adjustments.

    Thank you so much, this was the highlight of my work day. The information re: the disparity of scores between basic and medium DIBCAC assessments was enlightening and concerning. This podcast absolutely needs to be a regular item in the Summit 7 lineup, well done.
